Acutally I think the actress that plays Starbuck does one of the best jobs, especially considering that Starbuck's character is one of the most complicated ones on tv today.
It's the one that's playing on the radio right now that is actually the same song as their first single "How you remind me" just different lyrics but same emo style (The world doesn't understand me! I have to cut my wrists now.)NPR did a nice piece on how Nickelback is essentially stealing their own music. /don't believe me? Do a sound analysis and comparison in Adobe Audition.
Wanna see a great comedy/sci fi show? Doctor Who baby. Here in America, they haven't released the second season yet, but when that happens watch a bunch of US tv channels try and buy the rights from Sci-Fi, and then they bite thier thumbs at ABC and that lot. SG1 and SGA went down hill as soon as they lost Richard Dean Anderson, who kept the stories in believable check.
THAT WAS A BRILLIANT PREVIEW, and I do also agree that Nickelback sucks, but come on look how well that song went with the that that preview. IT WAS FRACKING AWESOME, with the begining sounds of the guitar and the way it blended with the scenes and heightened the tension and action, which made the waiting so unbearable for season 3. I like the classical style of music and Im sure Bear McCreay (SP) music will be back for season 3 as its a fundamental part of the show. I just got the soundtrack for season 2 and it is just one of the best soundtrack I have ever owned. Like other people have already mentioned, the first 6 episodes of season are gonna be based on New Caprica, with the resistance movement in a WW2 style french movement, with people second guessing whos collaborating with the Cylons. While the ships that jumped with the Galactica and Pegasus have realised how screwed they are in their current situation and are in no way ready to mount a rescue mission.........Like how do you rescue approximately 40,000 colonials from a planet thats most likely heavily defended with cylons troops and basestars, with two undermaned and underpowered battlestars?...... (although they do as we see in the preview :D HORRAY!!!)While Adama is feeling the guilt, after realising what he did by leaving all those people at the mercy at the hands of Cylons and Lee (whose eaten loads of pies) has had a nervous breakdown and become a wreck. Lets not talk about Kara and the rest of the colonials back on New Caprica and how fracked they are.Nice scene: "This Kara, your mother" - with Leoben holding a kid and showing Kara.And also at the end with guitar solo at the end conluding the part where Lee was talking to Adama with "If we go back to New Caprica, humanity just stops."And Adama responds at the end: "Im going back"(Cue great guitar music!)
Ok to be honest Im sure the classical usual BSG music would have been good, but what they did with Nickelbacks song was pure genius, using it to show all the action that is gonna happen in October. Plus they also edited it so well that it shows the emotion and situation of the chracters so well, which is one the reasons why BSG is good and how they use classical music to do it. That song was perfect to be used, with an action packed theme at certain times (cue Viper battles and resistance fighting) to go with the scenes and yet have a sorrow part to go with the emotion filled scene (Kara holding on the cellbars look traumatised).It was just so brilliant and nice to see a change and if it was intended to get mainstream audiences who dont watch BSG, who can blame them? I'd certainly think WOW, Battlestar Galactica if cool. But if you think just by watching this preview, that they are gonna start using Nickelback songs, just turn of the television and walk out of the door and on to a highway.Best SciFi show ever!!!!
